One thing I learned from my last trip to the
Bahamas is that I need to step up my game a bit when it comes to photography. I'm not trying to become the next
Brian O'Keefe, but I decided to get a new camera and have been spending time trying to learn how to use it.
For Mother's Day I spent the weekend on the water on the Chesapeake Bay and really didn't get to go fishing, but I did get to do a little sailing in the 10 foot dinghy and got to practice up on the picture taking.
Here's a few shots that I liked.

The boat on the far right is the sailing dinghy. Lots of fun. |
Nice! What type of camera set up are you using?
ReplyDeleteIf you figure out a way to master the "half underwater/half above water" photos, please let me know.
Brent, I've had one of those weeks and have been slow on the blog. I just got a Fuji Finepix s4500. It's a "bridge" camera. I want one of those DSLR's, but this was like a 10th of the price and since it's going to be over water for a lot of what I do, I wasn't quite ready to make the jump.
ReplyDeleteOn the over/under, i have no clue.
